Excerpt

I started to take care of patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) in the late 1960s. At that time knowledge about the etiology of IBD and its therapy was quite limited. The commonly held belief at that time was that IBD is caused by an abnormal immunological reaction to luminal antigen(s). Most research funding went to attempts to investigate the possibility of immune dysfunction in Crohn’s disease. Many excellent immunologists concentrated on mucosal immune abnormalities but failed to recognize that such a tunnel vision might impede progress towards understanding the pathogenesis of IBD. …
